Truffles are one of my favorite holiday desserts to make, since they’re so simple and always an attractive two-bite treat for party guests craving something sweet yet small.
Here’s a tasty and different spin on truffles that you may have never seen before – s’mores! A mixture of butter, heavy cream and milk chocolate swirl together to create a velvety chocolate center for the truffle, and once hardened they easily roll into shape. While shaping the truffles, simply pop a mini marshmallow in the middle, then roll the truffles in crushed graham crackers. Voila! This classic campfire treat has been given a mouthwateringly easy, elegant makeover in no time.
As a sinful little sweet for dinner guests, a fancy nibble to bring to a holiday party, or just to keep for yourself, I know you will enjoy these s’mores truffles just as much as I have!

S'mores Truffles
Yield: Makes approximately 24 truffles
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups (12 oz.) milk chocolate chips
24 mini marshmallows
1 cup finely crushed graham crackers
Directions:
Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat; whisk in cream and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Chill saucepan in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until chocolate is solid and able to be rolled.
Roll chocolate into 24 balls, stuffing a mini marshmallow into the center of each.*
Chill truffles a few minutes before rolling in graham cracker crumbs. Chill for a few minutes again so they solidify more.
Enjoy!
* Tip: I found the easiest way to do this was to roll the chocolate into balls with cold, damp hands, then make a small dent in the ball with your thumb and place the marshmallow inside. Then, fold the ball of chocolate over the marshmallow and continue to roll in your hands until smooth across.

How exciting! Thank you so much for the kind mention and award. I appreciate it so much!
Jsut found you through pinterest…AMAZING! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Oh what did I do wrong? Even after chilling in the fridge the truffles are so soft. I’m leaving them in the freezer for the night, maybe I can roll them in the morning.
YUM – linking back to this on today’s S’mores Wrap-Up on my page, have been eying these up for a while and just have not made them
Something must be missing from this recipe because I see that I’m not the only one that couldn’t roll the chocolate. It doesn’t get hard enough. I ended up melting the marshmellows into the chocolate to make fudge.

Hi Sandi – If you give the chocolate adequate time to chill in the refrigerator, it should roll no problem.
I plan on making these a day in advance for a party. Should I wait till the day of to roll them in the graham cracker, and do they need to be refrigerated?
Also I have made the no knead artisan bread twice in the past week. I added garlic Parmesan and some minced kalamata olives, delicious! My husband and I ate half a loaf with dinner tonight.

You can assemble them completely a day in advance, including rolling in the graham cracker. Yes, they need to be refrigerated to harden and store properly.
